Apple's AirDrop Logo is now a Registered Trademark

On March 7, 2013, the US Patent & Trademark Office approved and published Apple's latest registered trademark for their AirDrop Logo. Apple's AirDrop is a Wi-Fi ad-hoc service in Apple's OS X operating system, introduced in version Mac OS X 10.7 dubbed "Lion." By using AirDrop, users can share files with other supported Mac computers running OS X 10.7 or later without the need of a Wi-Fi network or the need of USB mass-storage devices. Apple originally filed for their trademark in early December 2011.
